Molecular Mechanisms of Spawning Habits for the Adaptive Radiation of Endemic East Asian Cyprinid Fishes（鲤科鱼类东亚特有类群适应性辐射中产卵习性形成的分子机制）

Adaptive radiations represent rapid branching in the tree of life and are recognised as critical drivers of biodiversity. Studies of adaptive radiation have been central in developing our understanding of the mechanisms that drive speciation, diversification, and many associated ecological and evolutionary processes [1–4]. During an adaptive radiation, traits related to ecological and reproductive isolation play a major role in shaping biodiversity; examples include wing patterns in Heliconius butterflies [5], beak size and shape in Darwin’s finches [6], and body and jaw shapes in African cichlid fishes[7]. Although the molecular mechanisms of some of these ecological traits have been identified, many remain incompletely understood.
